(509) MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
(510) NEW JERSEY NETS
Take "(510) NEW JERSEY NETS"

The Nets are rested and home, as well as off a win. Vince Carter scored 29 points, Yi Jianlian added 22 points and a season-high 13 rebounds and the Nets limited Sacramento to 36 second-half points in a 98-90 win on Monday. "Yi was tremendous for us, not only putting the ball in the basket, but giving us extra possessions with his aggressiveness, and blocking a couple of shots," Carter said. "It was great to see." New Jersey outrebounded Sacramento 53-38! While New Jersey is rested, Memphis plays its third game in four nights here, plus the second of a back to back spot. The Grizzlies are decent at home, but just 2-13 on the road, something common with young teams. Play the Nets.

Mighty missed with Clemson (-12-1/2) Tuesday night.

Today it's Duke. The deficit is 85 sirignanos.

Dave Cokin

(559) MISSOURI STATE
(560) EVANSVILLE
Take "(560) EVANSVILLE"

Sometimes the trends are just too lopsided to ignore and that's the case tonight as Missouri State visits Evansville. The Bears are simply terrible as road dogs. Evansville is an amazing 17-3 ATS as chalk. Add in the road team possibly missing one of their better players tonight, and I have to look for the home favorite to get the money. Go with Evansville.

Tony's NBA on 18-8 run!! red Hot 2 for 1 Special tonight! CASH IN AGAIN!!
Charlotte Bobcats vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (Jan 7 7:05 PM)
Charlotte Bobcats (14.5) (-110.0)




Charlotte +14

<P>

I continue to take ugly dog covers, like Washington last night, and the books continue to lay premium points with the Cavs and I continue to go against them. Charlotte has won 2 out of their last 3 road games SU and are off a huge confidence building win against Boston. Cleveland showing signs of wear, losing their last game to Wiz, and I like Charlotte to be able to put up some points in this one and keep it close. They have been beaten soundly twice by the Cavs this year, I have a hunch they make this one interesting.

<P>

Play 1 Unit on Charlotte…PLAY ½ Unit on the OVER 191.5 in the Utah and New Orleans game….

15 Dime: JAZZ (minus the points vs. Hornets)
5 Dime: MICHIGAN (minus the points vs. Indiana)
5 Dime: TENNESSEE (minus the points vs. Gonzaga)

Jazz
One word: Letdown. That’s the situation the Hornets are in. Last night, behind sensational performances from David West (40 points, 11 rebounds) and Chris Paul (32 points, 15 assists) and a dominating fourth quarter (27-13), the Hornets trounced the Lakers 116-105, becoming just the second team this season to win on Kobe’s home court. Now, after a late-night flight to Salt Lake, New Orleans has to play the rested Jazz (13-4 at home) and deal with a big change in altitude. It’s something the Hornets haven’t handled very well in recent years, as they’ve lost four straight games in Salt Lake (0-3-1 ATS) by an average of 21 points per game!

Overall, New Orleans is 1-5 in its last six games against the Jazz, and since dynamic point guards Paul and Utah’s Deron Williams entered the league, the Hornets are 2-8 against the Jazz. Also, the home team has cashed at a 6-2-1 ATS clip in the last nine meetings and the favorite is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six.



Now, there’s no doubt which team is playing better basketball right now, as the Hornets have won five of their last six and 16 of their last 21, while the Jazz are just 5-6 in their last 11 games. But as I’ve often stated, the NBA, more times than not, is more about situations than streaks. It’s why I backed the Bobcats last night against the Celtics, who were in the midst of a brutal 10-game, 18-day stretch were eight of the 10 contests were played on the road.



Well, in this one, Utah should be quite rested, as it has played just three games since Dec. 27, two of them at home, Meanwhile, New Orleans is completing a four-game, six-day road trip, with the first three being played against playoff-caliber opponents (Blazers, Nuggets, Lakers).



Also, the Jazz have won three in a row and five of six in Salt Lake, with victory margins of 27, 9, 9, 17 and 5 points. As for New Orleans, despite last night’s impressive win in Hollywood, it is still just 10-6 SU and 7-8-1 ATS on the road this year. Also, prior to last night, the Hornets had failed to cash in five straight games as an underdog, and they’re just 3-4 ATS in back-to-back situations this year (conversely, Utah is 13-6 ATS when playing after one day off, including 4-0 ATS in the last four in that spot).



New Orleans has averaged – averaged! – just 81.3 ppg in its last four trips to Utah, and dare I guess that in none of those four were the Hornets less than 24 hours removed from their biggest win of the season or playing their fourth road game in six nights. Clearly, this is a terrible spot for the Hornets, and their win in Los Angeles last night definitely got Utah’s attention. Lay the chalk.





Michigan



Kudos to Indiana for finding a way to hang with Iowa in Saturday’s Big Ten opener (65-60 loss as a 13-point underdog). But I wasn’t fooled, as the Hoosiers are still in for a looonggg conference season with a roster loaded with bench guys and walk-ons. They come into this game against surprising Michigan having lost four in a row and six of their last seven, including home defeats to – are you ready for this? – Lipscomb (74-69) and Northeastern (55-42). I know this Indiana program has pretty much hit rock bottom, but that’s downright ridiculous to lose to those two schools in Bloomington (and it makes me wonder if Iowa played the Hoosiers 4-on-5 or something).



Michigan comes into this contest with an 11-3 record (6-2-1 ATS in betting games), as the Wolverines have obviously turned the corner in the second year under talented coach John Beilein (formerly of West Virginia). Among those 11 victories are impressive wins over Top 15 foes UCLA (55-52) and Duke (81-73), and the same Northeastern team that won at Indiana lost 76-56 in Ann Arbor back in early November.



The Wolverines bounced back from a Big Ten-opening loss to Wisconsin (73-61) by rolling over Illinois 74-64 as a 1½-point home chalk Sunday. And a quick peek at the stat box shows advantages for Michigan up and down the line, as the Wolverines average 73.5 points per game (Indiana averages 60.2 ppg); shoot 44.1 percent from the field and 35 percent from 3-point land (Indiana checks in at 41.9 percent overall and 29.3 from downtown); make 77.8 percent of their free throws (Indiana makes 66.7 percent); and they allow only 63.8 ppg on 42.3 percent shooting (Indiana gives up 68.5 ppg on 46.5 percent).

With no real look-ahead to worry about with Michigan (its next game is against Iowa at home Sunday, this one’s a no-brainer. Wolverines cruise by double digits.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tennessee



I could justify basing this play entirely on revenge, as Gonzaga clipped Tennessee 83-74 in the championship game of a preseason tournament in Florida at the end of November. In that win, five Bulldogs scored in double figures and the team shot 52 percent from the field while holding the high-scoring Vols to just 35.5 percent. No doubt, Tennessee is going to want a little payback tonight.



However, this isn’t so much about revenge as it is about Gonzaga’s insane schedule finally catching up to the team. Consider this: The Bulldogs have played just two true home games in their last 10 contests going all the way back to Thanksgiving. And since winning that tournament in Florida – where they also beat quality foes Maryland and Oklahoma State, in addition to Tennessee – the Zags have gone to Indianapolis to play Indiana, back to their home state of Washington to face Washington State, down to Arizona for a game against the Wildcats, back home to Spokane, Wash. (vs. Texas Southern), to Seattle to face second-ranked UConn, then back home (vs. Portland State) then to Salt Lake (for a matchup with Utah) and now to Knoxville for this game.



Is it any wonder that Gonzaga has lost three in a row and four of five, including surprising setbacks to Portland State (77-70) and Utah (66-65) in the last two? Hardly.



True, this is the first time this season that the Bulldogs are an underdog, and it’s been a long time since they’ve lost four in a row. However, in addition to the revenge factor, Tennessee has a massive home-court edge. The Vols have won 37 straight contests in their building, going 6-0 as a designated home team this season (including a 12-point win over 24th-ranked Marquette in nearby Nashville). At home, Tennessee is averaging 90 points per game while making 49 percent of their shots, while Gonzaga is putting up 67.7 ppg on just 42 percent shooting in road/neutral-site games.



Throw in the fact that Tennessee is on a 4-0-1 ATS run at home while Gonzaga has failed to cash in seven of its last eight against SEC opponents, and you can’t help but love the Vols in this one, especially given a reasonable impost.
